Yet another Crypto-PAn implementation for Python

Overview

This package provides a function to anonymize IP addresses keeping their prefix consistency. This program is based on the paper "Prefix-Preserving IP Address Anonymization: Measurement-based Security Evaluation and a New Cryptography-based Scheme" written by Jun Xu, Jinliang Fan, Mostafa H. Ammar, and Sue B. Moon. The detailed explanation can be found in [Xu2002].

This package supports both IPv4 and IPv6 anonymization.

Usage

>>> from yacryptopan import CryptoPAn
>>> cp = CryptoPAn('32-char-str-for-AES-key-and-pad.')
>>> cp.anonymize('192.0.2.1')
'192.0.125.244'
>>> cp.anonymize_bin(0xc0000201, version=4)
3221257716L
>>> cp.anonymize('2001:db8::1')
'27fe:8bc7:fee:1e:1e1f:f0fe:f0e1:83fd'
>>> cp.anonymize_bin(0x20010db8000000000000000000000001, version=6)
